This study explores the relationship between political ideology, emotional climate and emotions expressed by a middle-class sample of Lima facing possible triumphs of the main presidential candidates in the 2011 general elections in Peru. Considering the bias introduced into the sample, the candidates Kuczynski and Humala generate more support and conflicting emotions of rejection respectively. The results indicate the formation of two groups of presidential candidates: those seeking the continuity of the system, located on the ideological right (Fujimori Kuczynski and Castañeda), and dissatisfied with the system, located on the ideological left (Humala and Toledo). The voters of the right-wing candidates had better emotional climate and a better perception of the situation in the country that voters associate candidates on the left. Also, direct relations were found between authoritarianism and better perception of the country's situation with the right political orientation they found. The latter positively correlated with positive emotions in case of a Kuczynski victory and negative in case of an Humala victory.
